Does anyone know of a user level based file integrity checker?
Does anyone know of a user level based file integrity checker?
(One I can install if I don't have root access, to check the files in my user directory and subdirectories thereof). |
Do you mean 'integrity' as in like for rootkits, viruses, and that sort of thing?
Far as I know, you could build & use 'RKhunter' or 'chkrootkit' without root installation privileges, but hopefully (probably ;)) someone will correct me quickly if I am mistaken. You would need to alter their default configuration and/or search paths, but I think that can be done. As for viruses, I won't attempt to suggest anything, because I don't use anything. If it is something totally NOT along these lines that you are seeking, please clarify. Sasha PS - if this IS the stuff you seek, then you might suggest these tools to your server admin, for root installation, though I would like to think that any respectable server admin/host has tools of this sort in place already... Then again, who knows :/ |
Re GrapefruiTgirl's tip, see also Tripwire.
If you just mean accidental corruption (transmission/bad disk write) etc, md5 checksum works for most people eg Distros usually offer this so you can check their downloads. |

Use AIDE which is a replacement for tripwire. I can't see why you would need separate copies but yeah, sure, why not.
Edit: And yes, of course it's in userspace. |

Contrived example (on a FreeBSD box, with slightly different command implementations): Code:
> find sandbox | xargs sha1 You could put together a little script that will capture this information, and another script to compare it with a previous run. Or you could search the net for a solution that someone else already created. |
